Dear Friends,

In this week’s Parashat Mispatim (laws), God presents to the Israelites, through Moses, a wide variety of very different laws. There are laws concerning the treatment of slaves; laws distinguishing between murder and manslaughter; laws regarding punishments for kidnapping or injuring another or striking one’s parent; laws that mention offenses against others through lying, witchcraft, idolatry & oppression; and there are laws about unfair business practices and warnings to judges and witnesses about honesty and fairness in court. Additionally, there are directives to care for the distressed animals of one’s enemy; and directives concerning how we treat the poor, vulnerable and strangers among us because the Israelites “were once strangers in the land of Egypt”. Finally, the parasha presents rules for the Sabbath, sabbatical year, Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot.  

At the conclusion of all these laws, we read in Exodus 24:7:   

“And he [Moses] took the book of the covenant and read (all the laws) in the hearing of the people; and they said: ‘All that the Eternal has spoken we will do, and we will hear.”  

            וַיִּקַּח֙ סֵ֣פֶר הַבְּרִ֔ית וַיִּקְרָ֖א בְּאָזְנֵ֣י הָעָ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֥ר ה' נַעֲשֶׂ֥ה וְנִשְׁמָֽע׃

Na’ase V’nishma - we will do and we will hear - is a puzzling phrase.

The word Na’ase comes from the Hebrew root Oseh, meaning ‘to do’ or ‘to make’ as in ‘Oseh Shalom’ - the One who makes peace. The word ‘Nishmah’ comes from the Hebrew root ‘sh’ma’ which means ‘to hear’ - as in Sh’ma Yisrael. 

The rabbis debated this statement. Why, they ask, does the ‘doing’ come before the hearing? Usually, it is the reverse. Don’t we typically listen or hear instructions and then perform the action necessary? But to the rabbis, this was a statement of absolute faith in God.

The root sh’ma does not only mean to hear but it can also mean to internalize or to come to understand. Thus, perhaps one of the meanings of Na’ase V’nishma is ‘we will Do, and only then can the understanding or internalization emerge from the doing.’

Another explanation could be that the Jewish people promise first to observe the laws of the Torah, and only afterward to study these laws. In traditional Jewish culture, this statement has come to epitomize the Jewish commitment to the Torah.

In our parasha, the Israelites are saying to God that they desire to take on the laws of the Covenant and they believe that in so doing, they will find a sense of meaning, connection, and fulfillment in their lives.

This can be the case with our own lives as well. Those of us who keep Kosher find it brings a sense of connection and meaning to our lives. People who volunteer their time, find fulfillment in the act of volunteering itself. As human beings, we make meaning out of action. We grow as humans out of the understanding that we gain from the things that we do.

As members of Women’s League, we know what ‘doing’ is all about. We simply wouldn’t exist without the selfless, generous, and dedicated volunteers that make up our affiliates and sisterhoods. Let us all strive to continue with ‘strength and courage’ to look for new experiences to try and new things to learn and in so doing we can bring new meaning to those ancient words “Na’ase V’Nishma”.

Shabbat shalom,

Marilyn Cohen

Region Matters:

I would like to bring to everyone's attention to the two amazing upcoming region programs we have planned. First is our Torah Fund Event featuring Cantorial Student Josh Ehrlich on Monday evening March 30th. Next is our second program with our Israeli "Sister" Kehillot - Israel Beyond the Headlines: The Israel we don't hear about. You can find additional information and registration information for both of these events in the flyers below.

Also, I would like to draw your attention to the fabulous programing that Women's League has to offer that is advertised below including a presentation on Jews in Film by our very own Lois Silverman, The Women's League Annual Board Meeting which all members are invited to attend (but you must RSVP), and of course... the Women's League Convention!

Read about all this and more below...

Our programs are a benefit of your membership in your local affiliated Sisterhood/Women's Group or as an Individual Member of Women's League for Conservative Judaism

Our 2022-2023 Chazak v'Ematz Campaign

Be Strong and Courageous

Lisa Paule, Torah Fund Director has announced that Torah Fund’s Chazak v'Ematz general campaign, as of January 17th, raised $652,708.00. What a great campaign! That is over $100,000.00 more than one year ago when on January 18, 2022, our general campaign’s total was $560,902.00, and more than $200,000.00 more than two years ago when the total was $450,461.00 as of January 6, 2021. Let’s keep the momentum going and strive to reach our goals. 

Additionally, TF ecard revenue through December 2022 is $3,875.

In the US, order your ecards here: Torah Fund eCards – Send an eCard to a loved one. (jtsa.edu)

In Canada, order your ecards here: Canadian eCards – Torah Fund eCards (jtsa.edu)

As always, paper cards are available from your local Torah Fund Chair.

After you have completed your general campaign giving for this year, please consider a donation to the special project, Creating New Spaces. It will equally fund two important projects: A “Women’s League Study Space” in the new undergraduate residence hall at The Jewish Theological Seminary, and a special course of training for rabbinical students at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, entitled “Women’s League Institute on Gender Bias and Harassment.” Our goal is to raise $200,000.00 that will be split equally between the two projects. The Creating New Spaces campaign total is now $136,882.00, with a balance remaining of $63,118.00 to reach $200,000.00. With your help, we can reach this goal.

The Torah Fund Office encourages online contributions. Your receipt is generated instantaneously, and Torah Fund receives the funds faster. Now that we have the Canadian ecards platform, our Canadian supporters can make donations online with the purchase of a $5.00 ecard.

As you know by now, this is year is the 80th Anniversary of Torah Fund and we continue to receive many 'Plus $80.00' contributions to honor this occasion. We are compiling a list of Torah Fund donors for the 'Plus $80.00' campaign, which will be published at Convention this summer. 

With thanks to Marcia Toppall and Cathy Swerdlow for their work managing the Torah Fund Legacy Society committee and everyone's efforts, we have received 67 bequest confirmation forms. The goal is to reach 80, in honor of our anniversary. Learn more here: Torah Fund Legacy Society - Jewish Theological Seminary (jtsa.edu)

To all who have given, thank you! All donations, large and small, make a difference in the lives of our students at the five institutions of higher learning. Learn more about these schools here: Torah Fund - Jewish Theological Seminary (jtsa.edu)

Mark your calendar for March 20th for our Region’s Torah Fund program featuring Josh Ehrlich, a senior at JTS’s H.L. Miller Cantorial School. More information is available in the flyer above this message.

Weekly Words of Torah

Parashat Mishpatim – Shabbat Shekalim - February 18, 2023

This Shabbat we read Parashat Mishpatim and it has a special title of being called Shabbat Shekalim, one of the special Shabbatot before the holiday of Passover. The Israelite men’s census was counted by giving half a shekel, chatzi shekel. Each man gave the same amount, no matter how rich or poor he was. Although this was not truly equal – since the women were not counted – this process was showing that no matter how wealthy one was, each person counted towards helping in the community. The message for us today is that we all can contribute to our community, and we should draw strength from this lesson, that our wealth does not matter. We truly now count equally in the Jewish community, especially since we live in an egalitarian society. Chazak v’Ematz – Be Strong and Courageous!

Special Program during Makom B'Yachad:

Wednesday, February 22 - Rosh Chodesh

Want to sing, teach, help with technology, and more during Daily Psalm Study, and Kaddish?

In Parashat Shemot, Exodus 1:1–6:1, is the story of Pharaoh, who enslaves the Jews in Egypt and orders the midwives, SHIFRAH AND PUAH to kill all Jewish babies. Pharaoh fearing the Jews will outnumber the Egyptians, commands his people to cast the Jewish babies into the Nile River. This forced Yocheved and Amram to place their baby in a basket in the Nile River. Moses, as he became known, becomes the future leader of the Jewish people and the rest is history.

The WLCJ Convention 2023 Social Action Project - GIVING THE GIFT OF A HEALTHY BIRTH, is a project to support the Shifrah and Puah Maternity Center in Mbale, Uganda. This project exemplifies what it is to give the Gift of a Healthy Birth.

The Shifrah and Puah Maternity Center in Uganda births many Jewish babies each year. To enable this to continue our Social Action Project will raise money and help offset their expenses. As more babies are being born there, the need becomes even more apparent.

To initiate your support, we are designing a very easy way for you to help. There are many costs that need to be covered at the Shifrah and Puah Maternity Center. With your donation of:

• $18.00, you can cover a woman’s cost to get an ultrasound during her pregnancy and to have her baby delivered at the Center.
• $36.00, you can cover the costs of the sanitary napkins necessary after each delivery for an entire MONTH.
• $72.00, you can cover the costs of the laundry service to keep the sheets, towels and gowns clean for each delivery for an entire MONTH
• $108.00, you can cover the MONTHLY costs of supplying each mother with three sets of baby outfits and one blanket; otherwise, they only have rags to wrap their baby in.

These are just a few examples of what we can do with your donations. With your donation, whatever the amount, you will help greatly.

Look for more information to come and more ways to help our Convention 2023 Shifrah and Puah Maternity Center Project. Have a wonderful Shabbat and realize how important “GIVING THE GIFT OF A HEALTHY BIRTH” can be to help those who need our help. The help we can give is truly of life-saving value.

Todah Rabah,

Shabbat Shalom

"Ramah and USY to Résumé"

Workshop, February 23 at 7:00 PM ET

This workshop will provide tips on creating a standout résumé, including how to highlight Ramah and USY leadership experience. This event is co-hosted by Reshet Ramah and USY Alumni.

Ellen Cohen is the Senior Director of Academic Operations for the Pediatric Cancer Data Commons and Executive Director of the Center for Health and the Social Sciences where she directs the science, strategy, financial management, training, and educational development initiatives.

Ellen has spent the past 10 years at Ramah Wisconsin working with staff members to present their professional skills from camp on résumés and in other professional settings. Ellen’s father-in-law, Burt Cohen, was the director of Camp Ramah in Wisconsin from 1960 to 1974, and served as National Ramah Director from 1974 to 1989.

For the past six years, Keshet and USCJ have worked together to deliver Keshet's Shivyon Project cohort for USCJ-affiliated synagogues.  On February 28, we will be launching our cohort for 2023. I'd love to see if the Women's League would be able to promote this opportunity within the network and I've asked Jakie and Rakhel to promote this opportunity in the session on February 9. 

Below is more information about the cohort which you can feel free to circulate to the Women's League network:

Keshet, in partnership with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ), is launching the Shivyon Project cohort for USCJ-affiliated synagogues on February 28! The Shivyon project is a year-long cohort-based opportunity for synagogues that want to focus on creating organizational change in order to better support LGBTQ+ community members and staff. When synagogue's up for Shivyon, they will gain access to in-depth education, practical training, coaching, skills, and knowledge to spark long-lasting change from congregational policies to the individual experiences of your community’s participants and staff. Check out Keshet's website to learn more and sign up.
